LOS ANGELES — An offensive slumber unparalleled in the past 23 years, a second straight shaky pitching performance from the promising rookie, and now an undesired season high as the Astros after months of getting close have lost six in a row.

Do the misfortunes of the Astros know no end?

If it’s not one thing, it’s well, two things, and that’s just what it was Sunday as Jordan Lyles was hit hard for the second straight outing and the offense was shut out again in a 7-0 loss to the Dodgers.

It was the Astros’ sixth consecutive loss. Until Sunday they had been 6-0 with a chance to snap a five-game streak and it dropped them to 38-83, on pace for 111 losses.

The Dodgers — mostly starters Nathan Eovaldi, Clayton Kershaw and Hiroki Kuroda — held the Astros to just one run over the three-game sweep as the 7-0 shutout followed Saturday’s 6-1 sloppy affair and Friday’s 1-0 extra-inning game.

It was the first time the Astros had been held to a single run over a three-game series since April 1988 at San Diego.

“We didn’t have too many opportunities to do any damage,” said Carlos Lee, who went 1-for-3 with a strikeout. “You’re going to go through stretches like this. In Arizona we scored a lot of runs. We ran into good pitchers who couldn’t do anything wrong.”

That is true, 26, despite going 1-3 in the series that immediately preceded the quiet stay in a routinely loud Chavez Ravine.

Los Angeles only needed to manage a single run for Kuroda (8-14), and they did that many, many times over against Lyles, who gave up seven runs for the second straight outing.

‘They made me pay for it’

Catcher and previously .199 hitter Dioner Navarro got the Dodgers on the board with a two-run homer in the second — the first of three Lyles would allow. Matt Kemp took him deep in the third for a 3-0 lead, and Justin Sellers capped a four-run sixth with his first major league home run, a three-run shot.

That sent Lyles (1-7) to the exits having lasted 5 1⁄3 innings, with three walks and three strikeouts. Like Tuesday in Arizona, he gave up seven runs, and like Tuesday in Arizona, he started but could not escape the sixth inning.

“I mixed all my pitches today, I just made some mistakes throughout the whole game, and they made me pay for it,” said Lyles, who had mixed in few curveballs in his last outing. “The ones to Kemp and Sellers were definitely mistakes.”

Keeping tabs on Lyles

At 143 2⁄3 innings between Class AAA and the major leagues, Lyles has come within roughly 25 of his shut-down point the Astros have forecasted for him as they aim to protect a 20-year-old arm in a lost season as far as the standings are concerned.
